Key Manager in order to identify which Key Manager holds the encryption key of each
volume.
The current list of VLE CLIM Clients is presented in the Key Manager page. New
CLIMs can be added by the
VLE CLIM Client Information
CLIM ID: Select a CLIM in the selection list. The selection list is based on
information queried from the host during the VTC configuration of tape drives
in the BackPak Domain. The list of proposed CLIMs is limited to those
associated to a tape drive of the BackPak Domain, defined as LTO 4, and
enabled for VLE by SCF.
If the proposed list is empty or unexpected, check the tape devices are
enabled for VLE in SCF and refresh the host information in the VTC
configuration page of the involved VTCs by the link Update devices based on
the probe result from the VTC and all hosts.
Key Manager – Test

encryption in any case of Encryption setup – including HP VLE.
On the list of configured Key managers is presented in the Key Manager page, the
Test link is available when the Configuration tab is in Browse mode.
The Test will execute several verifications and show the resulting report in a new
window.
• The connectivity of all VTC clients to the Key manager will be tested by a query
to the Key manager for its identification, for each of the IP addresses configured
for the Key manager.
• All VTCs in the domain having LTO 4 devices will be tested to check if the LTO 4
devices are connected to a CLIM recognized as an VLE CLIM client to the Key
manager.
The LTO 4 drives must be started to allow BackBox check the host WWN and
compare it to the VLE CLIM client configuration. If there is a match, the
connectivity to Key Manager from the CLIM will be assumed.
• The domain configuration will then be analyzed to:
